Introduction: A well-maintained lithium-ion handheld strapping machine can serve you for 5+ years. Follow these simple tips to maximize durability and performance:
- Battery Care: Avoid overcharging (unplug once fully charged) or deep discharging (don’t let the battery die completely). Store batteries in a cool, dry place (15-25°C) when not in use. Calibrate the battery every 3 months to maintain capacity.
- Clean Regularly: After each use, wipe the machine with a dry cloth to remove dust, debris, or strap residue. Use a soft brush to clean the strap feed mechanism—clogs can cause jams.
- Lubricate Key Parts: Every 6 months, apply a small amount of machine oil to the strap tensioner, cutter blade, and moving joints. Avoid over-lubrication, as excess oil attracts dust.
- Handle with Care: Do not drop the machine or use it to hit loads—impact can damage internal components. Avoid strapping sharp-edged items without protective sleeves, as they can tear the strap or damage the machine.
- Regular Inspections: Check the strap cutter for dullness (replace if it struggles to cut straps) and inspect the motor for unusual noises. Tighten loose screws or bolts monthly.Conclusion: Routine maintenance takes minutes but prevents costly repairs and downtime. Treat your machine with care, and it will consistently deliver reliable performance.
